Chapter 904: The Son of God’s Cognition
"This is……"
"Hello, Dante, I'm Robert. I've read your biography, and you are worthy of being a hero of the Empire."
Robert's gentle voice came from the other side of the holographic image.
Gu Hang also nodded slightly to show his agreement.
Dante's thoughts were completely confused.
The only Son of God whose whereabouts are very clear in the current empire is the genetic father of the Infinite Regiment, Robert the Son of God. Everyone in the empire knows that this figure from ten thousand years ago, a mythical existence, is sitting in the God's Heir Hall of Super Starfish.
But except for a very small number of delusional lunatics, no rational person would expect the Son of God to stand up again.
There is a particularly high-end "tourism project" on Super Starfish, which is to meet the Son of God.
The Temple of the Son of God is not open to the public, but when some important figures come to visit and ask to meet the Son of God, it is not easy for the Infinite Warriors to refuse.
As a legendary hero of the Empire and the Chapter Master of another founding chapter, Dante is such a person who is hard to refuse.
During a visit to Superstarfish several hundred years ago, he had met the Son of God.
Now we meet again.
The only difference is that the last time it was separated by a static stance, but this time, it was separated by a holographic image.
Because of this, a guess arose in his mind: Could it be that Gu Hang was lying to him?
Although he saw it from every angle, it was a true holographic image. His brain was spinning, but he couldn't see any problem.
But he still tried to remain skeptical.
After all, according to past rumors, the leader of the alliance, Gu Hang, is a psychic master famous throughout the empire. Using psychic energy to create an illusion, a phantom, a deception, should be possible for this psychic master, right?
Although it was almost impossible to deceive Dante with psychic power due to his psychic resistance, he would rather remain skeptical.
The reason is simple: this incident is too shocking and unbelievable.
If he doesn't remain skeptical, he won't know what kind of mentality he should adopt to face it.
However, the two people present did not pay special attention to him.
As soon as they met and exchanged a few pleasantries, Gu Hang said sorry.
"I'm sorry, I clearly told you that you can come to see me anytime, but as you can see, I'm discussing something else with Robert..."
"Can I sit in?"
Gu Hang was stunned for a moment, then turned his gaze to Robert: "I have no problem, what about His Excellency the Regent?"
"There is nothing that needs to be hidden from this hero of the Empire. Please do as you please."
So Dante really leaned against the table next to him, crossed his arms, and began to listen.
Gu Hang and Robert ignored him.
What they were discussing was indeed a very important matter.
The war in the Infinite Star Domain has basically ended so far. Under Robert's personal leadership, the invasion of the Chaos Demon Army was thwarted, which was a matter of course.
The news of Robert's resurrection also began to spread outward from the five hundred worlds of the Infinite Star Domain.
Everyone in the Empire who heard the news, from the common people to the dignitaries, from ordinary soldiers to Space Marines, from the Ecclesiarchy to the Mechanicus, was delighted.
The title of Son of God was still inspiring enough. People shouted, the empire is saved!
The ones who are most excited about this are definitely the Space Marines.
Needless to say, the Infinite Legion's sub-groups now have a father.
The Space Marines of other bloodlines were also shocked by this. Although Robert was not their genetic father, he was still a genetic father, a son of God, representing the most glorious era of the Empire, and also the most glorious history of the Space Marines.
Until his own Son of God is resurrected/returned from disappearance, Robert's appeal to any loyalist Space Marine is unparalleled.
In addition to the Space Marines, another force whose attitude is even a bit crazy is the state religion.
Although the Mechanicus also believes in the Emperor, they believe in another side of the Emperor. In their doctrine, the Emperor is transformed into the image of the God of All Machines for worship. The Son of God does not have a particularly important position in the concept of the Mechanicus.
But it is completely different for the state religion. When the Emperor was purely religious and became the only supreme god, the status of the Son of God was like that of Jesus. It was just that there were slightly more Sons of God.
But now, a Son of God has truly been resurrected!
That is nothing short of a myth coming to reality!
It’s the gods appearing!
The state religion almost went completely insane!
Around the Infinite Star Region, those who heard that the Son of God had resurrected and had the ability to contact and approach him, without exception, almost all rushed to approach him. They exerted a huge religious influence, influencing one world after another, trade organizations, star armies, and independent warlords to join the Son of God's forces.
After Robert withstood the Chaos Demon Army's siege of Super Starfish and opened up a channel of communication with the outside world, reinforcements from various directions flocked in.
They all longed to fight under the leadership of the Son of God.
And Robert, of course, has grand plans of his own.
How could it be enough to just relieve the siege of Super Starfish? He wanted to save the entire empire!
Robert did not act rashly. He had just woken up from a ten-thousand-year slumber, and to be honest, he was still quite unfamiliar with the entire empire.
He spent some time understanding the empire's ten thousand years of history, the current political situation, and the current catastrophe that had torn the entire empire apart and put all of humanity into crisis.
The Son of God's extraordinary wisdom made him realize the two key points to saving the empire at the moment: Holy Terra and the Alliance.
No matter how many fucked-up things are happening on Holy Terra now, it is still the center of the Empire. Together with Mars and the Moon nearby, this is the most important economic center of the Empire, and its productivity is amazing.
In addition to the economy, its great political significance as the home planet of mankind and the capital of the empire for ten thousand years is also irreplaceable. Only by sitting on Holy Terra can one issue orders and unify the entire human empire. It is impossible to do so anywhere else.
The current specific situation of Holy Terra is not particularly clear, but this is a major problem: its inability to accurately transmit its information to every part of the empire already means that the situation is very bad.
It can no longer fulfill its dual duties as an economic and political center.
This has been going on for a long time, and the division and chaos it has brought to the empire are even more serious than the Scarlet Scar itself.
Robert was determined to gather the forces that had come over and launch an expedition to Terra after the Infinite Star Domain was initially stabilized.
He wanted to see what the current situation in Terra was. He had even made preparations to personally take charge of Terra.
In the past, during the era of the Emperor's Ascension and the Imperial Civil War, he was a staunch supporter of the Human faction.
He obeyed his father's wishes. He believed that the Emperor was a human being, and they, the sons of God, were also human beings, including extraordinary warriors such as the Emperor's Guards and the Space Marines, or ordinary mortals. They were all the same, all human beings, but with different individual strengths.
Some of his brothers, under the instigation of Chaos, actually believed that the Son of God, as the heir of the Emperor, naturally had the power to inherit the entire empire, just like the crown prince inherited the position of the emperor. Space Marines should also be super humans who control humans, and mortals should completely obey the leadership of Space Marines.
There was a violent conflict between the two sides, and after that civil war, the human empire was greatly divided. For example, Saint Gerard, the genetic father of the Blood Angels, was killed in that battle by Hels, the genetic father of the Moon of Vengeance, the Imperial Warmaster, and the Lord of the Moon, who called himself the "New Emperor" but was actually blessed by the Chaos Gods.
In that final battle, it wasn't just one son of God who died. The Moon Shepherd himself was killed by the Emperor himself during his brief visit to the mortal world, thus lifting the siege of Terra.
However, at this stage, the climax of the Imperial Civil War was still over. In the second half, the Imperial loyalists, who were badly beaten, had to retake the worlds that rebelled during the civil war. The entire Imperial Civil War actually lasted for hundreds of years, directly ending the most glorious period of Imperial history from the Founding War to the Emperor's Ascension, and also directly caused the Empire to quickly slide from its heyday to a state of decline.
This decline lasted for 10,000 years... That is to say, the foundation laid by the Emperor in the early days was strong enough, and heroes continued to appear among humans in the middle, resurrecting the empire as a whole or partially, so it slowly declined to its current level, and it has not yet been completely destroyed.
Of course, there were more than just these two Sons of God who died in the civil war. In the early stages of the civil war, the climax of the civil war, and the final stages of the civil war, Sons of God fell on both sides.
In the following less than a hundred years, the war between the loyalists and the traitors never stopped. The sons of God on both sides died and disappeared one after another. Including Robert himself, who was pierced through the chest by the twisted Chaos Shaman Khan Sabre during the battle with the Gene Father of the Galloping Ones, causing fatal injuries.
That is Temujin, the father of galloping genes, who inherited the name of a hero of ancient Terra. He was also seriously injured by Robert.
The result of the battle between the two can basically be regarded as a mutual destruction.
The ascended Khan of the Demonic World was expelled back into the subspace; the remaining Infinite Warriors snatched back the Father of Genes and had the opportunity to use the stasis stance to save the Father of Genes' life.
Robert can basically be regarded as the last lost son of God on the Empire side.
He had been alone in the Imperium for decades, after his brothers had all left, before he entered the stasis field. During that period, he was the one who actually ruled the Imperium, and the Space Marine Codex was also written during that period.
After all, the lesson to be learned from the civil war that nearly destroyed the Imperium was that both sides had large, united Space Marine legions, and a decision made by the commander of one or two legions could bring about a profound disaster.
By breaking up the Space Marines from their huge legion size into chapters with a maximum size of only a thousand people, this force that cannot be abandoned but requires vigilance becomes controllable.
At that stage, the Son of God was called the 'Regent' in the Empire.
In essence, Robert's title of "Regent" and the power to rule the entire empire under this title have not been revoked.
Who is qualified to remove his power?
What's more, for the Empire, there is no need for the Son of God, who has been lying in the stasis field for 10,000 years, to do this specifically.
And now, he can naturally continue to lead the empire using this title and the identity of the Son of God.
But the prerequisite is that he can return to Holy Terra.
This cannot be done in the infinite star field.
Robert was confident that as long as he could return to Holy Terra with the army that supported him and take charge of the overall situation, the current dire situation in Holy Terra would be greatly improved.
As long as Holy Terra resumes its functions as the capital and political center of the empire and regains control of the entire human empire, the division of the empire will be greatly improved.
Gu Hang fully agrees and supports this.
…
The most important thing for the overall situation of the empire, besides Holy Terra, is the 'Alliance'.
This was something Robert had not thought of at first.
After all, in the era when he lived, the empire did not have a second center like the Alliance, which was independent of the central empire and possessed such powerful power and influence.
Once, when he was in the founding expedition and was in charge of the Infinite Star Domain 500 Worlds, some people called him an independent kingdom, calling him an ambitious person and a separatist in the empire. But in fact, how can the situation of the Infinite Star Domain 500 Worlds compare with the current size of the alliance?
After Robert had a good and in-depth talk with Gu Hang's son Gu Jing, he realized that the Alliance now controlled 40% of the territory of the dark side of the Empire, and if there were no more accidents, the power of the Alliance would continue to expand and become stronger in the coming time.
Is it possible that he considers the Alliance to be his enemy?
Absolutely not.
No matter what Gu Hang is thinking, it is absolutely impossible for the Empire to regard the Alliance as an enemy now.
Even if Robert could return to Holy Terra and become his 'regent' again, and integrate the power of the empire, what could he do to the Alliance?
Another civil war in the Empire? In a world like Cataclysm?
That means they really don't want the empire to survive.
